The registry does use one "primary" expert and multiple "secondary" experts currently. This suggests that the primary expert is contacted first by IANA. In practice any one expert can make the decision without requiring consensus or discussion with other experts. For me ok to leave this all to 'DE / IANA self-organization'.

Shrug, if it works with your AD, then fine. Francesca's AD review didn't raise this as an issue, so I presume she's OK with the current state of affairs.
